[PATCH 1/2] random: Omit double-printing ratelimit messages

From: Dmitry Safonov
Date: Thu May 10 2018 - 08:52:21 EST


Currently "suppressed" messages will be printed once in a second for
unseeded/urandom warnings, but there is already custom message which
says how many warnings are missing. So, let's skip suppressed messages
until crng_init == 2.

P.S.: not sure if there is a value in custom messages, maybe we can just
remove them instead.
